Matt Herren DQ’ed

[rb]

The opens angler should have been DQ. Herron should have reported the instance before the polygraph end of story.

And the serial offender banned

I agree!

BASS is being run by inexperienced children

100%. At some point the organization is gonna have to start listening to the anglers input bc these people clearly don’t know how to operate a business. The BBC experts will come along shortly and say they’re “running a business and aren’t a charity organization”. Maybe that’s true, but they’re not very good at it, like at all.

I've been looking for who to point the finger at but I'm not sure who?

[dreese]

He was irrelevant anyway. Technology passed him by so this is a great excuse to hang it up and go to the (mostly) technically challenged tour.

[WarEagle24]

I wonder how Ray Scott would have handled a situation like this?

Yeah me to Good or bad

100% nailed it. He's not had a realistic chance at a win in a long time and his crying last season emphasized that.

[Runsome]

It is your job as an elite angler to police what comes out of peoples mouths. especially a family member

Are you serious with this comment or sarcasm?

Still doesn't change the fact of inconsistent rulings across the board.

100% agree. That’s really the much larger problem.

This is a new season is it not, first event of the year and last season people wanted rules followed so here we are. So much bs last year that BASS is obviously trying to clean up and now people upset about it. You can't make this shit up. Matt's own kid admitted here he told him where a tournament was just won on the st John's, pretty cut and dry he should have self reported. Each of the dudes running idle zones got penalized equally by losing time right? Where's the problem?

How do you feel about the way BASS should handle repeat offenders? I am all for them enforcing rules but if some guys are not learning any lessons what is the correct step to take to fix those guys and the grey area guys?

[Bill2e]

Yes he should have, but honestly probably didn’t even think about it.

However, he should have and it should have not been an issue

[crab bass]

B.A.S.S. will go on with or without him for sure, and I think there is a mix between some b.s. going on and the fact that these guys don’t want to learn FFS, and that’s fine. Matt will probably be better off where they don’t allow it and if B.A.S.S. continues to allow it they will have plenty of guys coming up that will want his spot. None of this will change until guys speak out. They say they are afraid of BASS and maybe so or is it that they all could flunk a lie detector test at some point? I don’t know the answer but it needs to get resolved.

Don't know how to run a business, listening to anyone? I thought just fire everyone, they don't know what they are doing.
